I will look at that. See my note below: I think the default values are a 
problem.

After some experiment I ended up completely turning off shortening for eighth 
and shorter. Even the minimal values you supplied were leaving the flags 
colliding with note heads.

\override Stem #'details #'stem-shorten =  #'(1.0 0 0)

And that seems to resolve the issue. I'll have to play around with Harm's more 
involved solution as well and see what it offers me.

Thanks,
